Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8807232A1] A control mechanism having an adjustable lever (17) supported by at least one plate (20, 22) for rotation in a plane generally parallel to said plate (20, 22). A handle (16) is provided at the outer end of the lever (17). A glide element (50) is captured within the lever (17) to extend beyond the side of the lever (17) facing the plates (20, 22). The glide element (50) is mounted to engage the facing side of the plate (20, 22) under slight compression to provide a constant resistive force as the lever (17) is rotated from one end to the other of its required travel. The glide element (50) under slight compression acts as a damped spring and can be considered a precision fixed-force brake.
